I've been enjoying your blog for a while now, and definitely had the impression that we grew up in the same area, but little did I know that we're actually from the same tiny little town! I also grew up in Glen Ridge in the '70s/'80s (57 Chestnut Hill Place and 84 Ridgewood Ave., which are actually adjoining properties). I think I'm about 4 or so years younger than you, so we probably just missed each other in school, but I'm sure we knew some of the same people (I went to Linden Avenue, and I'm guessing you might have gone to Forest?). It's also possible that you might remember my grandfather, Arthur A. Robichaud, who was the longtime Glen Ridge chief of police back when we were kids.<br /><br />What makes this all even stranger is that my favorite childhood toy was also a Marx playset that I received in the '70s ("Undersea Adventure"), and I even still have a picture of me opening it, in the presence of my great-grandmother at that! In fact, due to my mother being an obsessive photo-snapper when I was a kid, I still have many pictures of Glen Ridge from that era, so just let me know if you'd ever like to see some.<br /><br />Sorry to ramble on here, but the coincidences were just too incredible to pass up. I moved away from the area decades ago, but I still have an overwhelming childhood nostalgia for the place...Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-36593591006459660702017-03-13T17:33:35.475-04:002017-03-13T17:33:35.475-04:00I had this or something similar to it.

I added an oversized King Kong toy when I played. <br /><br />SGBSGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.com
